I was wondering If it was legal to run Only 1 headlight and disable the other....

Anybody know?

 

That's gotta be a state-law thing, in California, I'm willing to bet the farm that if you have 1 operating headlight, and an aftermarket catback, you will get pulled over for "street racing." Are you planning on leaving it because it's cool? Or is it unfixable? Or what?

I know it's not legal here in Cali. Don't know of anywhere that it WOULD be legal, either. It's a safety issue. (The two lights both identify you as a two-track vehicle and make it easier for someone to tell how far away you are.)
Why would you want to disable one of your headlights?

 

Why? I know it makes you faster, but is it really worth it! Sarcasm!

 

I donno I had some crazy idea....

I figured that mabee I could route an air filter to that location instead of the light... Kinda like a cold air induction kinda deal.. just an idea though.

 

Or are you trying to get better airflow to your cone airfilter ?

 

here in vt, and i assume in most other states, any light on the front of the car has to be working. ie, if there are foglights that dont work, its illegal. no foglights would be fine, but if its on there, it must work. now, why would you ever want one headlight, more light = less death.

 

On an N/A that will yield massive gains. Sorry I'll stop now.

 

I also have another idea... but Im not sure if they make them....

Disable the pop ups and Find some kind of lights like fog lights but not as bright and use them for head lights... The reason being is I saw a good aftermarket hood but the only deal was that you had to get rid of your popups... I dont remember who makes the hood though..

 

Well Im full of Ideas and I dont know if they all work so I thought Id just put them out in the open.

 

On a serious note: I live in Washington and know that IT IS ILLEGAL to run only one headlight. Do you have pics of the hood? You could always make your own with some plexy and new lights.

 

By US law, headlights must be 22" above the road surface.

 

Damn... Theres just no way to win is there?


Thanks alot for the info guys.

I'll have to think up something else...

 

I think it's the CENTER of the headlight must be 22"... which is why the headlight housing on the new celica for example goes like halfway up the hood.

 

everything is illegal in cali ....so i don't know what to say!!!!

 

Damn foreigners know our laws better than us

 

I read car magazines.
Do you think CANADA would put a car magazine decent enough for me to read?
I rest my case.

 

here in tampa i asked my next door neighbor whom is a sheriff and he says dont believe what u saw in that mtv fast and furious wannabe show. lol 22 inches will only be illegal in california ( just making fun kinda tellin me that its not like that in tampa) so im kool
